Welcome to Amaranth Counselling

Counselling, Psychotherapy and EMDR in Edinburgh and East Lothian.
Treating Depression, Anxiety and PTSD.
​Specialist in Workplace Bullying and Harassment

My name is Mary O'Neill and I operate a private counselling service; Amaranth Counselling. I'm based in Cockenzie in East Lothian where I offer individual and couple counselling.

I am an experienced counsellor, accredited by my professional body the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
I believe that counselling is about personal empowerment; when we understand our situation and our underlying motives then we are able to make healthy change in our lives instead of lurching from crisis to crisis. When you work with me it is my hope and intention that you will learn about yourself and with that insight and understanding you will develop that capacity for resilience to cope with the challenges that life may bring.

Counselling is an effective intervention for depression, anxiety and many other issues that might affect our mental wellbeing and it is an investment in you. As you learn more about yourself you will be able to challenge the limitations you place on yourself. If you experience feelings of worthlessness or shame about the past then counselling will help you recover your self esteem and sense of worth.
No issue is too small and insignificant or too big and insurmountable!

I specialise in working with clients who have experienced workplace bullying and achieved a MSc in TA counselling which focused on this particular issue. This continues to be a research interest for me and I am currently working on a research project investigating the experiences of people who are experiencing bullying.
I have extensive experience working with clients who are exposed to a stressful workplace environment, be it a managing a heavy workload or dealing with workplace conflict.
I have recently launched my coaching service Coaching with Mary O'Neill which is a specific coaching method that focuses on eliminating abrasive behaviour in the workplace.

Here are some of the issues I can help you resolve at Amaranth Counselling:

In any of these circumstances I provide a safe and non-judgmental environment where you can talk to me and I will help you understand and make sense of the situation and help you find a resolution.

It is also possible to make use of telephone counselling and (video) counselling via Skype. In these situations, if it is geographically possible, I prefer to meet with the client for the first and last sessions for a check-in and a review.
